Follow along lineart: [link]Special Effects Tutorial!: [link]
LineArt & SAI Tutorial: [link]
UPDATE 7/17/09: I added a shortcut to the "Alternate Method" for Preparing the Lineart (And elaborated on that a little bit) to the Table of Contents (The place where all the Red Buttons are in the beginning) This would most likely be targeted to people using Photoshop Elements, OpenCanvas---any Program that does not have the ability to split Channels.
I also added a section to change things back to RGB after the Lineart Preparation. This page is BEFORE the Flats, after the "Alternate Method". Thank you readers for reminding me to put it in
If this tutorial is helpful, please tell other people about it! 
I finally finished it! The file is around 7 megabytes, but I hope it'll be worth the download! I kind of aimed it toward Beginners, but there's a lot of more "complicated" stuff in there too.
Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys on your keyboard to flip through the pages, and then use the UP key to return to the table of Contents.
IF THE KEYS DON'T WORK then just click on the image first and THEN use the keys.
Enjoy!!

This is a wonderful, very detailed tutorial! I've always avoided coloring because of how difficult it looked, but now that I've read this, I might just tackle it! Thank you for sharing

Wave, my magic wand select my lineart horribly, I did the lineart with vectors in sai so It canΒ΄t be "dirty", IΒ΄ve change the tolerance but magic wand do not select all space as you in your tutorial. what happens?
π: 0 β©: 1
Make sure you have the specific settings for the magic wand on!
Specifically "Sample All Layers" so it tells the wand that you want it to also keep the lineart in mind.
And also "Contigious", so that it doesn't just select all of the same color

if uhm lets say we dont have a scanner but we would like to collor a manga thats already uploaded but not with really HD lineart, what can we do about that? for example [link] (picked random first uncollored page of a manga i read), would this be ok for colloring? or it should be made purely only B&W? if B&W how can i erase the gray things like shadows or textures? btw great tutorial<3
